Leaves of the plant, Cassia podocarpa, were collected from Opah village near Accra, and dried. A suspension of the powdered leaf was given by gavage to groups of ten mice. A record was kept of the number of wet faeces passed in 24 hours. There was a linear relationship between the log dose of leaf and the number of wet faeces. The effect was maximal between 6 and 24 hours of administration and was larger than has been noted with senna.
收集了来自阿克拉附近奥帕村的长柄决明植物的叶子，并进行干燥处理。将叶粉悬浮液通过灌胃给予每组十只小鼠。记录24小时内排出的湿粪便数量。叶的对数剂量与湿粪便数量之间存在线性关系。给药后6至24小时效果最佳，且比番泻叶的效果更显著。
